Nov. 9th, 2016

I was determined not to check election results until this morning because I didn't want to stay up late making myself crazy over something I had no control over.

I cannot believe Trump won the electoral vote, and now it is looking like Hillary may have won the popular vote. I was surprised to see that Hillary got as many votes as she did in my state of Texas. Usually the margin isn't even remotely close.

I have no intentions of jumping ship. To quote a dear friend of mine, "You know something? I refuse to accept that this is the end of the world. I refuse to accept powerlessness. I refuse to accept hate as my leader, fear as my guide, or oppression as my master. So long as I have a breath to breathe, a word to say, and a hand to give, I remain an American -- vagina and all! If good will come, I accept it. If good will not, I will make it."
